i usually love the postings where we all feel like someone else. i do however have to divert my attention to a simple yet frequently unspoken point as to Ms. Palin and the adoration she elicits from the rather conservative (really?) evangelical community.
my former church (the presbyterians) have not, nor will they EVER install women as elders in any of their congregations. the idea and office of an elder is reserved for males exclusively. why? mostly the arguments surround women not having the skill set,tools, or the RIGHT for that matter, to instruct men in the ways of our Lord. never mind that so many men installed in the position of ruling AND teaching elders woefully lack the guidance, intelligence, gentility, or heart to lead others..much less themselves (don't get me started).
WHY then....would all of these conservative men...be so lathered (in this case we cast the term "lather" in a positive light) about a woman leading our nation in the second most powerful and influential office known to the western world; presumably with an easy reach into the seat of the presidency (you can't serve me communion ma'am, but you can be my president..(whaaaaaa-ut?).
there you go conservative evangelicals....thank GOTT Himself you didn't come close to having to work this conundrum out in your tiny heads.....
